2009 600rr theft-resistant?
Hi,
I'm thinking about purchasing a 2009 600rr. Bikes get stolen from my campus often. Is this bike particularly difficult to hotwire? Thanks |
Thieves don't need to hotwire the bike right on the spot. All they need is a van and a couple of guys. I've seen videos where they pull up in a full sized van, two guys jump out and lift the bike into the van. Unless you can bolt you bike down to something, it will be tuff to keep her if a lot of bikes get stolen.

Edit: I'll give you the explaination you need. I've looked at videos from the parking garage of people stealing bikes and it is ALWAYS done via hot wiring |
Im sure most thefts are from loading or should i say throughing into a truck/van, i could be wrong though? As far as the 09's im sure there a hell of a lot harder to hot wire than say an F4i? i lock front steering, put my Xena disc lock on back disc, this way you have to lift off ground or drag away, plus i have full cov on my new 07RR, didnt on my 02F4i though.
May get an alarm as well? |

ive often wondered what i would do if late at night you hear noises and look outside only to discover some punk trying to jack your ride! 1st instict would of course be to run outside maybe w a baseball bat ;) but a better choice might be call police and wait/watch till they arrive? lol
